Our Thoughts on Threads

 

“I don’t like being in crowds of people where I have to engage in small talk. And [Threads] is like an entire place where all that happens is small talk.”


Social media has ingrained itself in our daily lives with various platforms that cater for almost every single personality type. It seems strange, then, that Instagram would add yet another platform to the mix. Add to the fact that it is yet another unoriginal concept from the social media juggernaut, Meta.

Today, we discuss our biggest concerns about Meta, how thought-provoking conversations seem to be mysteriously disappearing from Meta’s platforms, why Threads is not worth the extra workload, and how Twitter users make it a platform of superior content compared to what you’ll find on Threads. 

Ultimately, Threads seems to be missing the point, and its lack of direction and purpose is evident in its bland and banal experience.

We’re not using Threads, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Before you do, however, ask yourself why you want to use the platform, and be very weary of diving into Threads if you can’t come up with an answer. 

Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:

  • Our biggest concerns and problems with Meta.  

  • Important conversations that have mysteriously disappeared from the Meta universe.

  • Exploring the implications of Threads’ followers-transfer option. 

  • Why Threads appears to be a bland, empty wasteland. 

  • How you can double your workload by trying to produce new content for yet another platform.  

  • The way that varying user types influence the quality of content on a particular platform. 

  • Why Threads is missing a point and purpose. 

  • How every Meta asset is a rip-off of something else. 

  • Why Twitter is superior in every way.  

  • The importance of asking yourself why you want to be on Threads.
